Child Custody in Maine

While a romantic relationship may come to an end, the parent-child relationship lasts a lifetime. If you and your child's other parent have split up, you'll have to reach some important decisions related to child custody, visitation and child support. Your Maine child custody attorneys can help guide you through the process and negotiate a custody agreement. If you're unable to reach a mutually agreeable child custody decision, then a Maine judge will make decisions for you.

Questions to Ask When Interviewing a Maine Child Custody Attorney

Before hiring a child custody lawyer, you should schedule a brief get-to-know-you meeting (also known as a preliminary or initial consultation) with the attorney you're considering for your case. This meeting, which is usually free of charge, allows you to tell the lawyer a bit about your situation while also deciding whether you want to hire the attorney.

Come to the meeting with a list of question you'd like the lawyer to answer. Typical questions to ask include:

Are you the only lawyer who will be handling my case, or will others in your office also work on it? Can you describe their backgrounds and introduce me to them?

How do you charge for your services? Can you provide an estimate of my total bill, including legal fees and expenses?
